The wrangle over what is best to flavour your post-pub treat will continue long after this article has become digital chip wrappings. But for rugby fans, the annual battle to determine which city is king of the oval ball is about to kick off.
The 1872 Cup between the Glasgow Warriors and Edinburgh Rugby is a celebration of the first meeting on the rugby pitch of Scotland’s greatest two cities 140 years ago.
The matches are, simply, RaboDirect Pro 12 league fixtures, but the winner of the two ties on aggregate will also take away the trophy. The games are also an opportunity for future Scotland stars to impress national coaches and fans alike.
But forget all that. Behind all the rugby professionalism is the tribalism of two teams and their fans that are desperate to prove which city is best. But what if you come from one place, and play for the other?
Two players who may have a role in this year’s cup drama are Robert McAlpine, who is from Bearsden, and Fergus Scott, who calls the capital’s Currie home.
Edinburgh native Fergus is a hooker who is yet to make an appearance for the Warriors after signing on an Elite Development contract this summer.
For years, he has supported Edinburgh with the rest of his family. On Boxing Day last year, he stood on the sidelines and cheered for Edinburgh against Glasgow as his brother Matt, who plays for Edinburgh, made an appearance as a second-half substitute.
But this year, things have changed. The Scotland u-20s player is going to be cheering on his Glasgow teammates and - if he gets the opportunity - is ready to play his part to help them win.
“I would love to have a shot at playing against people I have known for a long time,” said Fergus.
“I would definitely be going out to play for the Glasgow jersey. It would be good to have a battle with my brother.
“When I used to go and watch the Edinburgh games, you never liked it when Glasgow went away with a win. But as you grow up, in a professional environment, your thoughts change and you are there to play rugby.”
